Care to name and vet the credibility for the UK's Chad/uranium claim? Or are you willing to trust, without being able to verify, that their Intel is credible?

Jacob, there's a serious problem with your logic.

JohnM positively said that Hersh's CIA "sources" were credible. Aside from the delicious irony I find in reading something written by John in which he supports the CIA as a source, I find the statement to be probably based purely on speculation. Therefore, I asked him "How do you know?" Naturally, he doesn't have a clue. Hence, his lack of a response, though I'm glad to see that you are picking up his cudgels.

You won't find a similar statement on my part saying anyone's "Intel" is credible or vetting anything.

I am hopefully wise and gray-headed enough to know I can't do such a thing, even if my naturally-ingrained cynicism were overcome by feverish emotion, as it seems happens to JohnM on occassion, this being but the latest example.
